## Job description

# Transforming Circular Economy

### Embrace our Mission

Circularity for everyone! We are on a mission to help people recover the value embedded in their pre-owned goods, transforming them into currency, and enabling brands to sell more sustainably. We’ve built a unique AI-powered, product-centric platform that connects retailers, consumers, and professional used-goods buyers. As we scale rapidly across Europe, we’re raising the bar for sustainability in one of the largest markets worldwide.

### Live by our Culture

We foster autonomy within our team, driven by our mission and the belief that 'culture eats strategy for breakfast.' In our view, agile management, long-term planning, and a deductive approach often fall short—only execution and tangible results truly matter. We believe in shared ownership of the company and learning through experimentation.

### Join our Team

We are highly focussed on people and work relentlessly to put the best possible team together. Veliuers have worked in some of the best startups worldwide: Senso, Palantir, Reddit, Meta, Scalapay, Sibill, ScaleAi, Satispay and more!  
  
We secured our 4m USD pre-seed round in July 2025 and we have giga office in Milan (Italy).

**Preferred Qualifications**

Familiarity with Docker, CDK, and production-grade deployment

Background in enterprise SaaS, fintech, AI tools, or developer platforms
